The best time to buy a big screen TV

There has never been a better time to buy a big screen TV, according to those in the know.

With the price of large TVs dropping substantially in recent years, while the quality gets better and better, consumers now find themselves spoilt for choice as they try to get the biggest bang for their buck.

Brian Fox, Director of The Good Guys – who recently earned a fourth straight Most Satisfied Customers Award for Electronics Retailers – says there is exceptionally good value to be had at the moment.

“Consumers are telling us they want as big a screen as they can possible get,” he said. “A 79 inch TV will now cost about the same as a 50 inch would have six or seven years ago.”

With so many great deals now available, we surveyed more than 1,000 Australian adults and asked them to rate their new TVs for things like picture and sound quality, ease of use, and value for money. So if you’re looking for some guidance, see what the people had to say.

We also spoke to Channel 7 about the country’s big screen TV obsession. You can watch that report below.
